The Global Surgical Gloves Market was worth USD 1.8 billion in 2023 and will exhibit an 8.4% CAGR from 2024 to 2032, propelled by the increasing number of surgical procedures and a substantial emphasis on infection prevention and control. As surgical volumes rise globally, the demand for high-quality gloves to ensure safety and prevent cross-contamination becomes critical. Enhanced infection control protocols further boost the need for reliable and protective surgical gloves. This growing focus on safety and hygiene in medical settings will substantially expand the market, supporting its continued development and adoption.
The surgical gloves industry is classified based on product, usage, type, form, sterility, end use , distribution channel, and region.
The synthetic gloves segment accumulated a 64.9% share in 2023 due to their superior attributes compared to traditional latex options. Synthetic gloves, such as those made from nitrile or neoprene, offer greater durability, puncture resistance, and a reduced risk of allergic reactions. Their performance in demanding medical environments and growing preference for hypoallergenic materials drive their dominance. As the healthcare sector prioritizes advanced protective solutions, synthetic gloves will lead the market in both demand and innovation.
The powder-free gloves segment captured a 93.8% share in 2023, attributed to their benefits in reducing the risk of allergic reactions and contamination. Powder-free gloves reduce the risk of powder-related issues, making them a safer option for sensitive procedures. The rising focus on hygiene and infection control in healthcare settings drives their increasing adoption. With stringent safety standards and a commitment to minimizing risks, powder-free gloves will dominate the market.
North America dominated the market by capturing USD 572.3 million in 2023 and will grow a 6.5% CAGR through 2032, fueled by its advanced healthcare infrastructure and stringent infection control standards. The region's high volume of surgical procedures, coupled with growing awareness of safety and hygiene, drives the demand for high-quality surgical gloves. Additionally, significant investments in healthcare and ongoing technological advancements in glove materials further support market growth. North America's leading position in healthcare innovation and safety measures makes it a vital contributor to the surgical gloves industry.
